I would like to propose a wonderful idea concerning the chiddushim of the Torah introduced by the “neshamah yeteirahs” on Shabbas. As mentioned above, HKB”H is so proud and delighted by them that He shares them with His heavenly entourage. Now, the Ohr HaChaim hakadosh (Bereishis 2, 3), teaches us an important principle: The world continues to exist solely on account of the observance of Shabbas.
This hinges on the fact that HKB”H only created the world for six days, as it states in the Aseres HaDibros (Shemos 20, 11): "כי ששת ימים עשה ה' את השמים ואת הארץ". The passuk uses the word "ששת" rather than ״בששת״; instead of stating that the world was created in six days, it states that the world was only created for six days. However, by observing Shabbas on a weekly basis, we renew the contract of creation for another six days. This procedure is repeated from Shabbas to Shabbas for the duration of time in this world.
He then cites Chazal’s statement (ibid. 119b) that whoever makes kiddush over a cup of wine and recites “Vayechulu,” is viewed as if he had become a partner to HKB”H in the act of creation. It seems far-fetched to say that a person can come along after the fact and be considered a partner in something that was already completed. Yet, this statement can be justified based on what was just explained. Each Shabbas preserves the world for six days; after six days, another Shabbas arrives and preserves it for another six days. In other words, the creation is reestablished on a weekly basis thanks to man’s participation.
